This last weekend Mom & I went to a beautiful park in Idaho Falls, ID to see if I could get two more qualifies and complete my Rally Novice Title

In Rally we have to go through a course of numbered stations with signs. Each sign tells us what we need to do. Things like fast, slow, stop - sit - mom walks around me, 360° turns left or right, that sort of thing. The novice level is done on leash and Mom can talk to me all she wants while we go through the course. I was still a little distracted but I did well enough for 2nd place on Friday!

Saturday was even better despite the fact that Mom had a complete brain fart and cost us 3 points on the very first station! If you do a station incorrectly you lose 10 pts, but you have one chance to redo for only a 3 pt deduction. At least she redeemed herself by realizing we had done the station wrong and we did a redo.

There were 8 dogs entered in Rally Novice on Saturday

and I earned FIRST PLACE!

AND finished my Rally Novice Title!

The turquoise rosette is for finishing a title

On Sunday we were entered in a different class

Beginner Novice Obedience

Obedience is more formal than Rally and other than give basic commands (heel, stay, etc) Mom can't talk to me during an exercise - just in between.

Our training instructer was watching

and she said she could see me figure out that

Hey - Mom is not talking to me - I better pay attention

Here we are getting ready to do a figure eight

around the two peeps

I did a pawfect Sit for Exam

and then came the hardest exercise

the Sit Stay

Hey Mom! that judge lady is standing behind me!

I had to stay sitting in the middle while Mom left me and walked all the way around the perimeter of the ring

For the last several months we have been eating a kibble that has Pumpkin in the ingredients

It has really helped Mr Bailey (who tends to have a sensitive tummy at times) have more consistent poops.

So when Miss Sydney at Chewy included this dog kibble with pumpkin in it on our list of choices for this months review, we told mom we would like to try it

Weruva Caloric Harmony Venison & Salmon Meal Dinner with Pumpkin Dry Dog Foodlets you take control of your dog’s nutrition with a delicious food that’s filling but gentle on tummies. This carnivore friendly formula uses protein as the major calorie source and fuels hungry pups with low glycemic ingredients that will keep them feeling full longer. Grass-fed venison and wild-caught deboned salmon will have their mouths watering while the added seaweed and pumpkin promote healthy digestion. It’s flavorful yet easy to digest, so Caloric Harmony is sure to satisfy even the pickiest eater while soothing tender tummies.

Key Benefits

Grass-fed venison

Wild-caught deboned salmon that’s responsibly sourced

Low fat and ash

Pumpkin promotes healthy digestion

Potato-free with a low glycemic index for energy that lasts

No artificial flavors or preservatives

Formulated for all life stages

Salmon oil keeps skin and coats healthy

Hurry up Mom! Open the bag!!!

OH MY PUG!!! That smells wonderful!

We each got to try a few pieces and loved the taste!

It does have a fishy smell

Mom then mixed some of the 4 lb bag with our regular kibble and we have had no issues

Mom loves the velcro closure to keep the food fresh

She says the one downside is that it is quite expensive

about $20 more per 24 lb. bag than what we have been eating. So when it is gone it is gone :-(
